The Larkspur Story

Inspired by Nature

The story of Larkspur

Larkspur has been creating beautiful, nature-inspired floral and event designs in Chicago since 1994. What began as a small business specializing in weddings eventually grew into a charming retail shop in Bucktown, where we were a neighborhood favorite for a decade. Our passion for flowers went beyond design, and in addition to a retail space, we began growing flowers on our sustainable flower farm in Buchanan, Michigan. Larkspur is a proud member of Slow Flowers, Association of Specialty Cut Flower Growers, Harbor Country Chamber of Commerce and Green Wedding Alliance.

Growing Into a New Space

Today, Larkspur has transformed from a retail shop into a modern timber loft space offering wedding and event design, floral deliveries, farm CSA and flowers & plants for corporate accounts. Larkspur shares our love of natural, seasonally-inspired design during seminars and classes throughout the Midwest.

FOUNDER STORY

Beth Barnett has been a fixture on the Chicago floral scene for over 20 years, launching Larkspur with a vision of floral designs that are lush, organic, and bound to the rhythms and textures of nature. No matter the season, Beth and her team strive to create artful arrangements in tune with natural forms.
